Helping some kids learn can be a very challenging undertaking.
We need to first address what might be causing the problem.
Is the problem a physical or a medical one or has some very basic element of their education been missed?

If not, your child is probably a 'system thinker' who needs to be taught by a different method. This website is designed to assist you to do just that.

Individual? Yes! Hopeless? No!

However, it might be that there is a physical reason so eliminate that possibility.

Physical problems may not be immediately obvious. I once worked with a grade one boy who had had tubes put in his ears as a baby. He had finally outgrown them and required a replacement. His doctor said that it would have been like trying to hear under water. Once they were replaced and he caught up on the missing work, he did well academically.

So the first step is to make sure that ears, eyes, visual or auditory, mental illnesses, and other physical medical problems are diagnosed.

Step two is to discover if some very basic element of their education very basic element of their education been missed.

If there is still a learning problem, the techniques within this website should help. Members may want to contact me to address more specific needs.
